Going to be bringing some homemade ricotta cheese spread to a party (simple - honey and almonds). What do you think would go good with this as a base?

Smashed up and crushed digestive biscuits.

Base = something to spread it on?
or
Base = way of serving/presenting it?

Sorry, base as something to spread it on. Its not so much a cheesecake type of thing as a kind of coarse cannoli filling, though maybe a little less sweet.

Is it intended to be served as a cocktail snack, or as a dessert?

If a cocktail snack, I think a sliced baguette would be fine, as it would further lessen the sweetness. If a dessert, then, perhaps graham crackers or even fresh berries.

olive oil and rosemary triscuits would be a good compliment to the honey/almond

or these

I'm guessing you want either a neutral base or one that complements it. Consider:
* Baguette
* Cinnamon raisin bread
* A fruit & nut bread (cranberry walnut or something similar)
* Cinnamon pita chips
* Strawberries
* Apple slices
* Table water crackers
